    Saying Goodbye to Karen at the
    MSP Airport
    by Stephen-KarenConn, 1 more photos
    The Minneapolis/Saint-Paul International Airport (MSP) sits between the Twin Cities and has two terminals, The Humphrey terminal with a Minneapolis address and the Lindbergh Terminal with a St. Paul Address.

    Passenger airlines servicing the airport include:
    Air Canada
    Air Tran Airways
    America West
    American Airlines
    Champion Air
    Comair (Delta Connection)
    Continental Airlines
    Delta Airlines
    Frontier Airlines
    Icelandair
    KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
    Mesaba/Northwest Link
    Miami Air International
    Midwest Airlines
    Northwest Airlines
    Ryan Air
    Skywest (Delta Connection)
    Sun Country Airlines
    United Airlines
    US Airways
    Xtra Airways

    Obviously, this is a major airport and the different terminals are served by different airlines. To me it can come a bit confusing, so be sure to know from which terminal you will be landing and/or leaving. The terminals are not far apart and both seem to use the same runways. Both terminals are serviced by light rail which runs north to downtown Minneapolis and south to the Mall of America in Bloomington.

    Directions:
    MSP's Lindbergh Terminal is located just off Highway 5 in St. Paul. Highway 5 connects to Interstate 494 and Highway 55, making MSP easily accessible from any direction. The Humphrey Terminal is just off Interstate 494 near 34th Avenue.

    We flew Northwest from Chicago-Midway. A pretty good experience all around. The MSP ariport has changed a LOT since I was last there back in the dark ages.

    Minneapolis is the hub for NorthWest Airlines. I know the Minneapolis airport pretty well as most flights from Winnipeg to the States have a stop here. Minneapolis is one of the few airports with fastfood restaurants at fastfood prices (I presume because NWA does not serve food on their flights).

  • Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport is a hub for Northwest and it's pretty easy to find non-stop flights from most major cities. Internationally there are non-stop flights from London, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Reykjavik.

    I must admit, MSP is one of the best airports in the nation. It has quick security and great public areas.

    The downside: NorthWest Airlines has the monopoly here, it's not a cheap place to fly to.

    If you live in the Upper Midwest as I do, it's inevitable that sooner or later you will have some time to kill at MSP. Actually, it's one of my favorite Hub airports. There are plenty of interesting nooks and crannies in lounge in, two decent bookstores, a brew pub, and several long corridors or passageways that offer intriguing perspectives. This is a good place to reflect upon the quiddity of travel.

    Minneapolis International Airport.
    This is the birthplace of Charles Lindbergh and you'll see this tribute to him at the airport. It's a modern, international airport with all of the usual amenities and is a main hub for Northwest Airlines. There are plenty of places to grab a drink and lots of shops to browse.

    The airport code is MSP.
